Verified Stay

Gerald and his wife were able to accommodate us last minute when our other sitter had something come up. Gerald was able to meet with me the next day after contacting them. I got updates and pictures of Alice's stay. She napped all afternoon the day we brought her home so she definitely got in plenty of play time. 5 stars!

A pet friendly family.

We are a small family, Husband (Gerald) and Wife (Sarah) team, in a big house with a big yard. No kennels or stalls, just our home. We are an option for you and yours when your furry family member doesn't do well in a kennel environment or there’s no space in a kennel when you need it.

We are a small family, Husband (Gerald) and Wife (Sarah) team, in a big house with a big yard. No kennels or stalls, just our home. We are an option for you and yours when your furry family member doesn't do well in a kennel environment or there’s no space in a kennel when you need it. Deer and turkey often roam across the property and the neighborhood and we’re three blocks from the cedar trail, where we like to bike and walk with our dog. We don’t have a fenced in back yard at this time but there is a heavy duty stake out and a 30 foot line that we use when we are outside and your family member is outside with us.

We have treats and toys, extra dog beds, blankets so that everyone can feel at home though we encourage you to bring their own toys so that they will be have that familiarity if they need it. We take them for walks, to the dog park, sometimes out to the state parks if we’re feeling like a picnic or a change of pace. An above ground pool in the back so that after those hot walks, they can take a cool down swim - never without us there. Sometimes we start a fire in the fire pit and if they’re allowed a hot dog, we’ll roast some and give them a treat - if they’re not allowed, they can have an approved treat instead. At any given time, either Gerald or Sarah will be caring for your family member at the house or walking them, taking them to the park even.

For the feline family members, we have an enormous cat tree in the corner of our living room with plenty of platform to watch and loom from above, space to roam and laps aplenty to curl up beside. They’ll have their own litter box to themselves as well. We treat your family member, like they’re our own. We provide that premium one on one personalized care for your furry family member that you won’t find in a kennel. It is my privilege to welcome them into our home if you let us.

What Gerald would like to know about your dog

I would like to know the basics:Who is your preferred Vet, should something happen?Are they up to date on shots? What is their indicator for when they have to go to the bathroom - paw at a door? Bark? Come and lick you? Are they crated at night/sleep on a bed/floor? Do they get along with cats? How many walks a day do they like/usually get? Any awesome tricks they can do? Are they a chewer? Snuggler? A laze-about?

When Gerald watches your dog

We walk along the Cedar Trail, around the neighborhood or go out to the dog park. We have dedicated doggy pool in the yard and when it gets too hot, we bring them into the human pool with us if they're keen on that.
